Scope
This standard defines the framework of building distributed ocean observing software systems based on complex virtual instruments (CVIs)@ which are used for processing and displaying the collected data from ocean instruments and the related metadata (Guo@ et al. [B1]). This framework provides the guidelines for a CVI-based development process@ in which CVI structure design covers management of observed data and metadata@ virtual instrument engine based on geospatial information@ and service interfaces for CVI interactions. CVI mapping schemes describe the correspondence from observed objects to CVIs. CVI relations define the relationships between CVIs@ and describe the methods of extending and compositing multiple CVIs. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to advise and assist developers in adopting a CVI-based development method in building ocean observing software systems. Implementation of this standard simplifies the software development process greatly@ which is turned into compositing CVIs that are customized according to specific requirements by means of CVI interfaces. Implementation of this standard also forms a set of reusable CVIs that can be shared among ocean communities. The development efficiency is improved because customization tools are provided to avoid code programming.
